One Last Secret

Prelude

Mmmumn mnn ooh ooh mmmun

Verse 1

She lay beneath the white sheets, barely holding on,

Her husband stood beside her, pretending nothing's wrong.

Her best friend held her hand and whispered through her tears,

“We've carried this secret for so many years.”

Pre-Chorus

Her eyes grew wide, but she couldn't speak,

The truth was finally finding the weak.

Chorus

“We poisoned you slowly, we watched you fade,

We took every dollar that your life had made.

He was mine in the darkness, you never knew,

And every stolen promise was paid for by you.

But there's one last secret you never knew.”

Post-Chorus

Her fingers curled around the bed,

And something colder moved behind her eyes.

Verse 2

“We emptied your accounts while you slept at night,

Sold your jewelry and buried the evidence out of sight.

He told me he loved me, you were just in the way,

We thought you'd be gone before the break of day.”

Pre-Chorus

A tear rolled slowly down her cheek,

But now there was something they couldn't read.

Chorus

“We poisoned you slowly, we watched you fade,

We took every dollar that your life had made.

He was mine in the darkness, you never knew,

And every stolen promise was paid for by you.

But there's one last secret you never knew.”

Post-Chorus

Her breathing became a shallow sound,

While shadows seemed to gather all around.

Bridge

She reached beneath her pillow and pulled out a page,

A list of names written in trembling rage.

“You should have wondered why I smiled when you lied,

And why I never told you where my fortune was tied.”

Verse 3

Her husband stepped backward, her best friend turned white,

She whispered, “You fools, you misread tonight.”

“My money was moved before your poison took hold,

And every word you confessed has already been told.”

Verse 4

“You’ve poisoned my body

You stole all my money, but lost your game.

You thought death would silence the woman you betrayed,

But I left you a debt that can never be paid.

Chorus

“Give me one more lifetime, one chance to return,

Let me walk through the doorway and watch your world burn.

Let me wear a new face when you think I'm gone,

And come back for the reckoning before the dawn.”

Outro

“I don't need forgiveness, I don't need your tears,

I carried your secrets through all these years.

If there is another life waiting beyond this bed,

I'll remember every word that you said.

And I'll find you again__
